How long! - Oh, I've missed you!

Suppose we have been following a false trail.

What is that new path then?

That's where the opium goes to Europe.

I have not come all the way to Kabul to be told what I already know.

- Tell us about Najib. - We'll go see him tomorrow.

What was that? -The Taliban are here.

You have to go before.

"Come on".

Host...

There's a checkpoint and it's not looking good.

I have lost eye contact with my companions.

They are shooting at us.

The protocols we have planned for...

Thanks, Carla. You already take care of that.

Can we see each other?

The most likely option is that they have been kidnapped

by a Taliban group and are asking for a ransom.

I already have a candidate to carry out this matter.

I, I am the candidate to take this matter.

Hi, I'm Julian Olmedo. I direct the CNI antenna here.

Now we are going to meet with the ambassador.

The GEO chief tells me that the Taliban are in Kabul.

We're going to evacuate the embassy.

Chill chill.

I'm going to get up.

You, calm down.

Easy, okay?

No problem.

oh!

We have to evacuate, we're leaving. -Evicting. Everybody out.

Out. Come quickly.

Please come, get out quickly.

Come please. evict! evict!

Come quickly!

Come on! Hey, Sara, Sara, come on, damn it, quickly, we're leaving.

Come, come, come.

Carla! Carl, come on!

We have to get out of here fast. Come on, let's go.

Let's go. Everyone to the cars.

We have five kilometers to the airport, gentlemen.

Eyes wide open.

Come on.

Gentlemen, this is the military zone of the airport.

It is the safest area.

Still, let's be very careful, please.

The Taliban have just taken over the civilian airport.

There is not that much plane for all these people.

From Madrid they want to take us out in 24 hours.

Let's see where they settle us in the meantime.

"If you don't have everything

we've prepared, do it right now."

Here, are we all?

Well, we have from 34 to 42. Okay?

We have the bathrooms here.

And now we are moving forward and I am showing you your rooms.

OK?

We advance. Here we go. Thank you.

Well, I guess you are already informed that you are going to Pakistan.

The CNI antenna there is already aware of everything.

But you are not coming?

Return to Madrid.

But I need you here to contact your informants.

You know the terrain. -Carla, I can't do anything here.

Look, everything has jumped.

In Islamabad they are aware of everything. -Very good.

Fuck...

Massoud! Massoud!

Miriam, do whatever they tell you. OK? Do everything they tell you.

OK OK. Alright?

Are you OK?

What's happening? What's happening? They are Russian hostages.

They want you to record a video to ask their family for money.

So are the Taliban going to hold a ransom for us too?

They are not Taliban. They are mujahideen, warlords.

- So these... - Listen to me.

Do everything they tell you. OK?

Trust me.

Peaceful.

Mark is missing. Hey, and Marcos?

Hey!

Where is Marcos? Where is Marcos?

Marcos, where is Marcos? Frames. - Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!

- Shut up! Look at me! Look at me! -Marco Cobos, where is he?

You're going to get us killed. Peaceful.

- Where is Marcos? - Calm calm.

what does he say? What's happening?

What's happening? -They killed him.

Mark is dead.

oh!

New list of Madrid. I'm going to print it, okay?

See you later.

Please get me a tray, okay? Thank you so much.

Raul?

Yes, it's me, but it's not a good time. -Cultural attaché, right?

Lady...

Are you weaving your network of

informants for after the withdrawal?

As?

No, excuse me. I'm wondering how this works.

Olmedo works for you, but in front of the gallery does he act as

the boss or is he directly bait and he's not even from the CNI?

What the hell is this?

What the fuck? That I don't have time for your circuses.

Okay, well.

We had to take this measure because external embassy

personnel, external embassy personnel, could have contact

with the Taliban. -OK.

Olmedo has told you everything we know. There's no more.

The informants are afraid.

They just want me to put them on a list to send them to Spain.

We don't have an official interlocutor within the

Taliban government... as long as it was the Taliban.

Look, this thing is going to drag on.

We are leaving.

We will manage it from outside, not from here.

They are not going to get us out of here in 24 or 48 hours.

You have to get a lot of people out of the country, thousands

of informants, and I know they are not going to abandon them.

I have to take advantage of every minute I have left.

You will have some friends within the new Taliban police.

- I'm facing you, Carla. - Very good.

I'm working to have someone inside.

An officer who has changed sides. -I want to talk to him.

No, he is very valuable to me. I'm not risking cover on him.

He will inform me if he finds out anything.

I thought this was a collaboration.

You with your source and me, keeping your mouth shut.

With your activity, I mean.

Don't play that.

My colleagues and my daughter's father are in prison somewhere.

I play whatever.

You tell him that there will be a prize for him...

if he comes to see me

OK?

List of Madrid. -Perfect.

We keep moving forward. Thank you.

We set off. Thank you.

Got it, boss. -Sirs!

Let's go!

Yes tell me.

Gentlemen, we have 15 minutes and 15 people to rescue.

We know what the procedure is. We will raise the flag.

We will see which people lift the red and yellow rags and

we will rescue them. We will then verify your identity.

If everything is correct, they will pass. If not, they stay. Received?

- Received. - On going!

Raise the flags!

Spanish!

Tell me, Manuel.

Spanish people!

Control it, control it!

We keep the type.

Gentlemen, we only have two more minutes.

- - Received? - Received.

We open, we open!

Still. Name. - Matin.

Matin? Matin, come in.

Papers.

Uh huh... Easy.

New list, now there are 23.

OK, we continue. -Thank you.

Over here please. Here. We will check the identity first.

Let's move on, please.

I'll be right back.

Sorry.

Thanks for the collaboration.

I don't know anything about your companions.

There is no trace.

And what do you think could have happened?

If no one has asked you for a ransom, it is perhaps

because it does not interest you to know what has happened.

Kidnappers may have the same

problems contacting us as we do with them.

This chaos doesn't help anyone.

We need to launch the following message.

We are looking for three lost Spanish journalists near Chahyab.

Here you have an open and direct communication channel if someone

knows something. Let's not mention anything about a kidnapping, okay?

There will be a more generous reward if you contact us.

And of course for you too. -Don't do weird things.

We want proof of life before payment.

You are not the only ones who are looking for your companions

in Chahyab. -Who else are you looking for?

The Russians have asked questions, but it seems they have it figured out.

I do not know any more.

Okay, now go back to camp with the rest.

Pretend you're sick tonight and a GEO will come looking for you.

He will take you to the infirmary and then he will take you out.

I already know, Carla. You want to go see the Russians. Already.

OK.

Are they.

But one man is missing.

We did not inform you that we

had not identified the other hostages.

They sent the video to our agent in Herat yesterday.

They give us 48 hours to deliver the money.

One million euros per hostage and Pakistani

documents and vehicles to cross the border.

Who is the man speaking? -Idris Mullah,

a warlord.

A chieftain from the north.

Declared enemy of the Taliban.

The hostages are his safe conduct to escape the country.

We need to communicate with him.

We want to manage the situation of our compatriots.

Let's see, inform them that the other three hostages

are Spanish journalists and their local companion.

That we will listen to everything they ask of us.

What are you going to do for your hostages?

We will not accept your conditions.

Idris is a sworn enemy of the Taliban.

They are looking for you.

If the Taliban find out that we are helping him to

leave the country, there will be serious consequences.

But you're not going to let them execute your compatriots, are you?

We care about our citizens, but we

need time to assess the consequences.

OK, very good. Officially you are not going to do

anything, but I want you to know that the company I work for

He will pay any price to bring the Spaniards alive.

I repeat to you, ma'am, that the Russian government

is not going to negotiate with these terrorists.

Payment will be immediate.

What is that, a yes or a no?

Everything is very Russian. -Calm calm.

Now... we need time.

There is no time.

We care about our citizens.

In other words, he is telling us that, despite everything,

they are having conversations with the kidnappers.

And they have asked for more time.

That's good, because they have a communication channel with them.

Yes, but they haven't shared it.

They are Russian secret services. They do not want interference.

But you have done well.

The message is clear. They will contact us.

Why isn't Marcos in the video?

This is a negotiation, Carla.

They still want to keep it as an ace up their sleeve to raise the ante.

Now it's time to wait.

Peaceful.

I'm leaving now, okay?

you calm down You stay here.

For for!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I am not a thief.

Journalist.

Spain.

I'm sorry.

I've been in the desert for days.

I was very hungry.

Please...

Please.

Please.

- Carla? - It's me.

They told me you have a problem in the north of the country.

I run a private security company.

You can easily find out our credentials.

Will they pay the ransom of the Russian hostages?

I understand there would be other people to get out of there.

Three Spanish journalists, two women and one man.

And his Afghan companion.

In the video only the two women and the Afghan appear.

There's a man. They haven't taught him, but he must be hurt.

They have to be prepared to transfer a wounded person.

The conditions:

a million per hostage, which Idris

requested, and my company's fee:

three million per hostage.

Also the Afghan? -Also.

Payment in advance...

to this account.

We move in three days.

I want to be aware of the operation.

Are you OK?

No.

He's screwed, huh?

I just... I've been thinking that, see, maybe you

think it's crazy, but it makes sense, okay, Najwa?

I don't believe it until I see Marcos' corpse.

I don't believe he died because it doesn't make sense.

He is dead. -No, listen to me, listen to me.

They need...-he is dead.

No, no, no, listen.

They need the money.

OK? The more we are, the more money they have.

So it doesn't make sense. Besides, they haven't shown us the body.

It's just that... -No, Míriam, no, no, no.

that this is not Spain. -Already.

That this is Afghanistan.

Yeah, sure.

Do you know how things work here?

Yes of course. - Do you realize then?

Sure, but it's just that... -Míriam,

that here they kill children and women.

And you have seen them. -But listen to me, Nawja, listen to me.

We are westerners and they need the money for us.

Know? -No no.

If we have the dollar sign on our faces, that's why they need us...

alive.

No, no, it's not like that here.

And how is it? How is? What are we doing here then?

What are we doing here then? Tell me.

What the fuck are we here for? -It's over.

No, it's not over.

For my daughter, for my daughter.

For my daughter, it's not over.

Hopefully.

She goes, goes, goes, goes, goes.

Do not touch me!

Yes. Yes, I know who they are.

Chechen ex-servicemen.

They also worked for the Portuguese in the past.

"I need to unlock the payment, Manuel."

It will be four million and twelve for MUD.

"I need the go-ahead"

of Foreign. But the matter takes precedence.

"It has to be tonight."

I'm trying my best.

We will make the payment through your company.

Talk to your people so they are

prepared to send the money to MUD.

I call you, Carla.

What's happening? I don't know, but they're nervous.

They are going to record a video.

She says that they have not considered her requests.

The Russians have asked for more

time, but it is he who decides the times.

Hey no no no no! - Look at me! Look at me!

Calm, calm, calm. OK? It's just a video.

It's just a video, okay? No, it's not just a video.

There's no point in hurting him.

They are just pressuring your country to pay.

Calm calm. It's just a rescue. Peaceful.

No no no no! No! No! -Still! Still!

Stop stop Stop! For!

For! For! - Look at me! Look at me!

For! Stop, you son of a bitch!

For! -Míriam, stop!

Look at me!

Stop!

Stop!

For! Stop, you son of a bitch!

Stop!

Motherfucker!
